Web Development

I am hoping someone can help me with this one as it has me tearing my hair out.

I have a HTML5 audio element on my page whose source is an mp3 audio stream. Everything is working as expected, I can pause the stream and play it again as you would expect.

A slight issue though, if I close the page, the audio file stream continues to download, even if I close the browser. I have confirmed this with Fiddler. I have tried various things such as setting the src to an empty string and then calling the load method, however, nothing seems to work.
